The invention relates to a chicken fresh-keeping treatment method based on natural acid preservation, which comprises the following steps of: washing chicken with sterile
ice water, and draining water on the surface; the surface of chicken is coated with a
preservative solution with compound acid composed of
citric acid and
tartaric acid as well as clove extract,
rosemary extract and tea
polyphenol as active ingredients, and the compound acid is composed of
citric acid and
tartaric acid according to the
mass ratio of (5-6): (3-4). According to the chicken preservation method, first-step preservation treatment is carried out through acid, then the
preservative is sprayed for second-time preservation treatment, and in the
preservative, the
solubility of active ingredients and the covering uniformity of the active ingredients on the surface of the chicken are improved, so that the preservative performance of the chicken is remarkably improved, the
shelf life of fresh
chicken breast is prolonged, and the quality of the
chicken breast is improved. After the chicken is preserved for 7 days at 4 DEG C, the total
colony count of the chicken is as low as 3.2 log CFU / g, the MDA content is 0.12 mg / kg, the TVB-N content is 7.32 mg / 100g, and the
water content of the chicken is still kept to be 74% or above.
